RVA SPORTS NETWORK SUPER 12 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL POLL​

We already have some questions answered with just one week down in the 2024 high school football season.
Let's check out the new RVA Sports Network Super 12 Poll to see how things are shaking out, with a look at each team's record and next opponent.

1) HIGHLAND SPRINGS (1-0, was #1, vs. Phoebus): The Springers score 28 unanswered to blow out Manchester on the road. Credit the coaching staff for a game plan which helped Highland Springs look like they were in Week 7, not Week 1.

2) DINWIDDIE (1-0, was #2, vs. North Stafford): The Harry Dalton Show provided a big first act in his senior season against GW-Danville. The Generals have a big advantage over this week's opponent, who did not play in Week 1, thus, this is their season opener, on the road in Cannon Country.

3) TRINITY EPISCOPAL (1-0, was #3, at Fork Union Saturday): A good opening win last week in what was a sideways week for local VISAA schools. A trip to Fork Union is never easy, and weather could play a factor with rain in the forecast.

4) MATOACA (0-0, was #6, at Warhill): Now the reverse, as the Warriors begin their season in Williamsburg against a Warhill team coming off a 68-0 win over Manor in their season opener. It's the first of three road trips to begin the 2024 season (at Henrico, at Massaponax) before finally playing in front of the faithful September 27th against Colonial Heights. In a related note, 2024 graduate QB Riley Justis, is second on the depth chart for #10 Randolph-Macon as they begin their season Friday night at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

5) VARINA (0-1, was #4, BYE): We discussed last week with Bob Black on ESPN Richmond how the Blue Devils' opener with Indian River could be closer than many thought. How about a double overtime thriller that saw Indian River, behind most of the night, escape with a huge victory. Now, the weirdest storyline of the week. This was supposed to be the night Varina traveled to defending Class 6 state champion Freedom (Woodbridge), until Freedom announced they would only play a district schedule of six games due to, frankly, the decimating loss of players due to head coach Darryl Overton's move over the winter to Hayfield High School. Add graduated players, and they're down to, according to InsideNova.com, 45 players total, many with no or limited experience. So, Varina scrambled, and found Bishop McNamara. Then, THAT game got canceled. So, no football on Route 5 this week.

6) THOMAS DALE (1-0, was #8, at #11 L.C. Bird): After a first half beatdown of Cosby, the Knights cruised to victory. Now they make the familiar trip down Route 10 to battle their archrivals, who shut out James River last week. We'll know a lot more about both programs around 10pm Friday.

7) BENEDICTINE (0-1, was #5, at Western Branch): The Cadets lost a shootout to new VISAA Division I threat St. Michael the Archangel from near Fredericksburg 41-32. Now they face VHSL member Western Branch, 28-0 winners at Menchville in the opener last week.

8) MANCHESTER (0-1, was #7, BYE): This may turn out to be one of the most important bye weeks for any team in the area this year. With two weeks to study and learn from the Highland Springs opener, the Lancers will be a hungry bunch when they open Dominion District play at Powhatan on September 13th.

9) HUGUENOT (0-0, was #9, vs. Eastern View Saturday): In a game that was on, then briefly canceled due to weather issues with Eastern View's opener last week, then on again but moved back to Saturday, the Falcons can make a huge statement in Region 4B early on with a win over the Cyclones, a program that seemed to get back in their usual winning groove in 2023, and coming off a 45-12 opening win on Tuesday against rival Culpeper, their 17th straight win in that series. So the Cyclones have the "game already played" advantage, but also have to overcome playing their second game in just under five days.

10) POWHATAN (0-0, was #10, vs. Mechanicsville): The Indians begin their quest for another postseason berth in Region 4B against a Mustangs squad coming off a physical 20-13 loss to Deep Run in their opener. It's important that Powhatan open strong, with the aforementioned battle with Manchester looming next week.

11) L.C. BIRD (1-0, was #11, vs. #6 Thomas Dale): So, see #6 above for information on the Battle of Chester (which can be heard Friday night at 7 on WRVA, 1140 AM).

12) GLEN ALLEN (1-0, was #12, vs. Massaponax): The Jaguars easily handled Prince George last Thursday, but now take a big step up in competition with the always-talented Panthers coming in, having won 35-12 over Independence in their opener. It's the second of four straight home games for Nana Utsey and the Jags, who want to pile up as many wins early as they can to improve their chances for the playoffs in rugged Region 6A.

This is a big game with big ramifications in Region D.
Union is 4-2 with losses to Graham (1 point) and Science Hill (very good 6A school in Tennessee). Ridgeview is 6-0 and are winning games by large margins. The knock on them is that they haven't played a strong team yet. We will find out tonight if Ridgeview is a paper tiger or not. I would give the edge to Union because of the tougher schedule and I think that will prepare them for the level of competition. Very interested to see how this one plays out. If anybody is trying to find a game to watch, this would be a good one. It will be broadcast on wcyb.com and possibly on NFHS network.

Our most important forum member is going to be unavailable to contribute his post of final scores for the remainder of the season on the Scoreboard thread. (He is fine, just personal business).

I ask that we all try to add scores as we learn about them each week. And like Pizzzzza always does, keep the comments on that particular thread short and sweet so it doesn’t get cluttered and difficult to read.


We thank you Pizzzza for all that you do and have done over the years, and we eagerly await your return. Thank you sir.

As a follow up, Matt always post a consolidated list of scores later in the weekend as they become available to him from the AP and other sources. But, if you are like me, you want to know how a game ended about 10 seconds after it’s over.

If anyone has found a source that is better than Scorestream and Maxpreps for live scores and results, please share it with us. Those two do the best they can do I guess, but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Thanks to Gunz41 for doing these.

In a playoff caliber game that saw the offenses of both teams come up with big plays and both defenses hard hitting, the difference came down to three major areas:
1. Westfield turned the ball over three times, once on the goal line, to only once for Madison.
2. Madison's defense stopped Westfield from the Madison one yard line on three consecutive plays to get a huge goal line stand in the 3rd quarter.
3. Yates and Knicely hooked up for two hugely successful 4th quarter passes - both occurred while Yates was scrambling for his life in the back field. On the first pass Knicely came down with a go ahead TD (20-14, MAD). After WF went back in front 21-20, Yates and Knicely hooked up again with a catch at the WF 6 yard line to set up the winning TD late in the 4th quarter.

MAD started the game on their own 45 yard line but gained no yards and lined up to punt-the snap sailed over the punter's head and was downed at the MAD 13 yard line. WF advanced to the one, but WF's Duda fumbled at the goal line and MAD's Salvosa (I think that is who it was) recovered the ball for a touchback. MAD went three and out on their next possession but a 59 yard punt pinned WF at their own 13 yard line, where WF went three and out to give MAD the ball at the WF 49 yard line. MAD advanced to the WF 29 yard line where Knicely converted a 4th and five to keep the MAD drive alive, then Knicely scored from 15 yards out to put MAD ahead 7-0 (Hopewell XP) with 9:35 to go in the second quarter. WF's next possession ended when Carlson's pass to a WR was popped into the air and MAD's Salvosa got an INT at the MAD 43 yard line. MAD's offense failed to move the ball and they punted again to WF on the WF 20 yard line. WF then went 80 yards to tie the sore at 7-7 when Lee caught an 8 yard pass from Carlson (Wiemann XP) with 56 seconds remaining in the half.

WF received the ball to start the second half and used two plays to go 69 yards when Duda scored on a 65 yard run to put WF in front 14-7 (Wiemann XP) with 11:00 remaining in the third quarter. MAD wasted no time responding, as Knicely to the KO 95 yards down the home sideline for a score and it was again tied, 14 all (Hopewell XP) with 10:44 to go in the third quarter. WF's next possession ended in a punt that pinned MAD at their own 12 yard line. Nearing midfield, Yates fumbled at the MAD 43 yard line and WF recovered the ball. This next WF drive quickly advanced to the MAD five yard line where WF had a first and goal, but the MAD defense stopped WF on three consecutive runs from the one to keep the score tied. MAD's next possession only netted nine yards and they punted from their own 10 yard line to give WF good field position at midfield. On the second play of the drive WF's Carlson was hit as he went to pass and fumbled, with MAD's Vojta recovering the ball at the WF 41 yard line. MAD then scored when a scrambling Yates found Knicely in the back of the endzone for a 40 yard TD pass, but Hopewell's XP attempt was tipped and missed to make the score 20-14 with 8:13 remaining in the game. WF's Duda returned the ensuing KO 93 yards for a TD, but offsetting penalties negated the score. After MAD kicked off again WF started their drive at their own 30 yard line. WF reached the WF 49 yard line where they faced a 4th and two, with WF's Lee gaining three yards for a first down; Duda would score later in this drive on a one yard run and after the Wiemann XP WF took the lead, 21-20, with 4:06 remaining in the game. On the ensuing KO, Knicely decided to field the ball as it neared the sideline around the MAD 12 yard line but he was ruled out of bounds as he touched the ball. MAD now needed to go 88 yards for what could be a game winning drive, so they went into their hurry up offense. On this drive Yates converted a 4th and 1 at the MAD 39 yard line, Yates converted a 4th and 4 at the WF 46 yard line on a QB draw, and then Yates had to scramble under heavy pressure but found Knicely who out leaped the WF defender at the WF six yard line with about 1:45 to play. After a holding penalty pushed MAD back to their 15 yard line Yates scored on a 15 yard run to give MAD a 26-21 lead with 1:22 to play (Knicely's 2XP run attempt was stopped short). WF had one final chance to go 70 yards for a winning score, but an INC pass, a sack, and another INC pass resulted in a 4th down and WF needing about 28 yards to get a first down. The pass to Duda came up two yards short and MAD took over and went into victory formation.

Varina Blue Devils are legit. I picked GA to win it tonight and said the Jags would
win convincingly.. I was very wrong. I did pick Varina to win the C4 Championship this year and I’m gonna have to stand on it for the coming weeks. Huge 38-3 win over Glen Allen tonight.

In what could and very well should be the 1D game of the year the Spartans of Eastside travel to face the War Eagles of Rye Cove tonight. Both teams are undefeated coming into this one, so unfortunately someone is going home with their first loss of the year, which could quite possibly be the only loss one of these teams will have before playoff time.
Eastside has pulled off three straight shut out wins and as a team are only allowing 6.6 points per game along with an offensive 32.4 points per game. Rye Cove on the other hand is averaging 50.2 points per game offensively and allowing 10.7 points per game defensively.
Eastside's defense will surely face it's toughest test yet though as Rye Cove's offense is really a 4 headed monster with Will Rollins, Landon Lane, and Carter Roach-Hodge all effective on the ground, and Landon Lane also dangerous as a passer. However, life will be no easier for the War Eagle defense as they face fullback Dayton Stanley who just lit up the JI Burton defense for 163 yards last week.
Rye Cove coming off both their lowest scoring game of the year and honestly, their poorest played game of the year will really have to step up to come away with a win tonight. The winner of this game will most likely end up the winner of the Cumberland District this year. Hopefully this one plays out as good on the field as it seems it will on paper.

A battle of 4-2’s tonight from Hungary Springs Rd!
